DWD Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Battle Log. Here it is!I started this in 2012, inspired by Nerd Fitness. This is what I do instead of challenges now, as it's more long-term. i was doing both, but it was too much paperwork.I'll explain as I earn points in each of the nine areas. 3 DWD Hylian Scout challenge 1 challenge 2 challenge 2.3 challenge 3 challenge 3.3 challenge 4LEGEND OF NINE Legend of Nine continues Link to comment

DWD Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 LEVEL UP! What pushed me over was three points for finishing a 1/2 ironman triathlon as part of my training. Half ironman. So that would be aluminum man if we're going by number of nuclear protons, or silicon man if calculated with the atomic mass of iron's most common isotope (That sentence earns me a Nerd Fitness bonus point.) You can see the three points by the VIII, under the bike wheel. When I finish the ironman next month, I get six. I get to level up every nine points. Here's where some of the other points came from: I - cross symbol. 12 weeks of mediation five times weekly (now working on 13)I - book symbol. Studying religious and spiritual topics four times weekly for 6 weeksII - blue heart. Being home for dinner with my family four times a week for 12 weeksII - half-blue heart. Making breakfast for my kids four times weekly for 7 weeks.VI - yellow parchment. I finished the cover for a collection of short stories. I should finish editing the stories this week, then I'll publish the ebook.

Swampling Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Congrats on leveling up! I'd think aluminum would be a good choice, being lightweight and all... ?

DWD Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 LEVEL UP to 32! Here's how I scored some of the nine points THIS time. No new chart, but you can refer to one above if you want. II Half-blue heart for morning devotional time with my kids four days weekly for six weeks.V One for taking extra time to build some professional relationships. The time-consuming hard stuff no one wants to do.VI Quill for consistent writing for seven weeks.VI Scroll for publishing the collection of short stories that parallel my novel (here if you're interested)VII Fist for three levels of strength training passed. The last was completing 20 sit-ups, 40 bodyweight squats, 20 push-ups, and 10 pull-ups in under 1:55. That made me feel tough!IX Book with the quill on it for selling the 50th copy of my novel. Only 999,950 to go for bestseller status! And as a bonus, I made my longest bike ride ever yesterday: 112 miles, including a 2000 foot climb over ten miles. That's the distance I have to do for the Ironman in three weeks. Then run a marathon. Given that the Ironman only has rolling hills and is 2000 feet in elevation lower and I plan to ride it more slowly, I'm excited to see all the training putting me right where I need to be!Thanks to the Brigade for the support! 3 DWD Hylian Scout challenge 1 challenge 2 challenge 2.3 challenge 3 challenge 3.3 challenge 4LEGEND OF NINE Legend of Nine continues Link to comment

forkboy Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Interesting place to put a battle log... Welcome to the scouts Thanks! That exchange totally cracked my shit up. I laughed quite hard out loud. Thanks for making my afternoon! Congrats on the level-up, love the tracking system. I am reading one of the books you PM'd me about awhile back. Kind of provocative, but pretty interesting for sure. It is definitely helping with my motivation for coming back to NF, so thanks for that too! 3 Current: reorient Old: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | a | b | battle log Older: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 myfitnesspal | epic quest Link to comment
